Araldica Flori Barolo DOCG: A Timeless Expression of Piedmont

Introduction

Araldica, a renowned cooperative in Piedmont, Italy, crafts exemplary expressions of the region's iconic wines. Their Araldica Flori Barolo DOCG stands as a testament to the power and elegance of the Nebbiolo grape.  From the prestigious vineyards of Barolo, this wine offers a complex and captivating sensory journey.

Appearance

In the glass, the Araldica Flori Barolo DOCG showcases a classic garnet hue that fades to brick-red at the rim, hinting at its time spent ageing. Subtle swirls reveal a wine of medium-plus viscosity.

Aroma

The intoxicating bouquet greets the nose with an intricate dance of aromas.  Dried rose petals, violets, and subtle hints of leather intermingle with ripe red cherry and plum.  Delicate notes of licorice, tobacco, and a touch of balsamic add layers of complexity.

Palate

The first sip reveals a full-bodied wine with striking structure.  High acidity and firm tannins provide a robust backbone, balanced by flavours of dried cranberry, sour cherry, and a hint of forest floor.  Earthy undertones and a lingering note of minerality add further depth.

Finish

The finish is long and persistent, leaving impressions of dried fruit, spice, and a touch of bittersweet chocolate. The well-integrated tannins provide a subtle grip and an elegant farewell.

Overall Impression

The Araldica Flori Barolo DOCG is a magnificent representation of the Barolo style.  Its balance of power and elegance, coupled with its complex aromatics and flavours, make it a wine worthy of contemplation. This Barolo will continue to evolve beautifully with further cellaring.
